Disable Metadata Inherit Values

You can set the page title dynamically with a macro to insert the desired name. That would prevent all pages from carrying the same title.

Go to Settings-->Content-->Metadata Then under Page title format you can set your macro. For instance, {%prefix%} - {%pagetitle_orelse_name%} The prefix would be what's set right below in the Page title prefix which could be the company name or something.

For documents, you can do something similar. Go to the parent folder or document, say, Articles and select Metadata from under the General tab. Uncheck Page title - Inherit, and add a macro like {%Headline%}. You can do the same for description with a macro like {%Summary%} or some other appropriate field from your page type.

Hope that helps!

Emma, that does help and gave me a great way to make our search results page title unique. What I am looking for is a way to not have ANY pages on the website inherit Page Title, Description, or Keyword metadata, ever. As it stands we now have to make unchecking and deleting the text that is automatically inserted in the fields a part of our process.

Dave, are you talking about when new documents are being created and they have Inherit page title, page description, etc. checked under the General-->Metadata tab? That seems to be default behavior, which makes sense only if you have a macro on the parent document or folder to dynamically generate the meta fields.

As for changing that particular behavior, I don't know of a setting or config to turn off the inheritance and my guess is that it's in the code behind. Wish I had a definitive answer for you. :(
